The above link is a list of co-sponsors for bill H.R. 1868.

“There has been some movement or talk about changing that,” Sen. Shelby said. “That ought to be changed because there’s so much abuse. I’d support a change on that.
A bill offered by Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Ga.) would require that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident in order for the new born to receive automatic citizenship. The current law has been abused by illegal aliens who give birth in the United States and are then able to access welfare services since the baby is a U.S. citizen. There is currently no bill offered in the U.S. Senate addressing birthright citizenship.

This legislation desperately needs passing. I am sure it won't be retroactive but at least we would have a starting point to end future abuse if passed.

Another reason to pressure legislation to act NOW and to S.T.O.P. this National travesty. Support legislators who have supported this bill to show America is behind them.

I had read that Rep. Nathan Deal who authored this legislation has since retired. I hope he made sure that those onboard with him on this legislation will continue to carry the ball.
I suppose as cheap political stunts go this one is not bad. After all, what does it cost to sponsor a bill that has zero chance of passage and would be unconstitutional even if it did?

If referring to ending birthright citizenship for Anchor Babies; how would such a bill be an unconstitutional cheap stunt? Remember that the US born children of foreign diplomats are specifically excluded from birthright yet their parents are here legally..........why should illegal aliens' kids have more 'rights' than the former?
Sen. Shelby knows why Deal's legislation didnt make out of committee in 2005, 2007, and now in 2009.
Shelby isnt ingnorant...He knows no a "Bill" will not make it to the floor of the Senate that tries to reverse the current interpretation of the 14th.
I thought the Anti crowd hade already figured that one out
Shelby and rocks travel in the same bag.
Except as each year goes by more and more Americans are getting fed up with illegal immigration and this kind of abuse and are demanding these changes. Soon or later congress will have to listen. I think sooner this time around.

More and more: the question should be be if birthright citizenship will be rescinded for minor age Anchor Babies below a certain age........not that new Anchors will receive it---------that with be a fait accompli IMHO.
